Ambari server fails to start

[#1]

Hi,

I downloaded the sandbox from Hortonworks site and installed it successfully. As the ambari server wasn't running automatically, I installed the ambari server through command line and tried to start the server.

I am receiving the following error in the server log. I did connect using the same user and performed select on table successfully that is mentioned in the log. Any help is much appreciated.

Start ambari-server and then you should be able to now, login to ambari and then setup cluster.

The server is up and running and I am able to open the ambari login page. Thanks a lot and I appreciate you for all the guidance you provided.

@Jay Kumar SenSharma In my case, when I experienced the error it was because my ambari database user did not have any privileges on the ambari database. (Postgresql 9.5) I added the ambari role to postgres role and it worked.
